Compiling on N900
 

really sorry guys I have spent a while now looking for this but I can't find what I'm looking for! I want to compile mplayer on my n900 but build essential wont install looks like it is being used by something else what is that something else called?

Does anyone know?

Re: Compiling on N900
 

I did a kernel build in N900 (3h + 3/4 battery).

To do it I had install:

gcc-4.2-base
cpp-4.2
libgomp1
libgcc
gcc-4.2
libgtk2.0-bin
gcc
binutils
linux-kernel-headers
libc6-dev
cpp
make
kernel-source

Some of it is not needed actually, but I don't remember which one (or two, or three...)

You may have a problem with root FS space. I work with root on 32GB /home.

EDIT: For C++ - don't forget about libstdc++6 and "-dev" version.
